As e-bike popularity rises among youth, Virginia Beach PD pushes safety (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An electric bike, or e-bike, has been at the top of Donal Morrison’s wish list for a few years. For his 11th birthday, his parents bought him one. His mom, Nadine Morrison, said she and her husband debated buying one for a long time. Now that their son has one, they have rules – he can ride it in their cul-de-sac while a parent is outside, he must wear a helmet and pads and he needs to take a safety class. “It’s a hard decision,” she said. “You think about teaching them the right things to do an

The closures and consolidations arepart of a five-year plan approved by the school board last year to address decreasing enrollment and facility usage. The board blamed the Norfolk City Council, which approved a resol
If schools need construction money, why aren’t counties asking voters for a 1% sales tax? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s little disagreement that Virginia is behind on school capital improvement projects and maintenance. More than half the state’s schools are over 50 years old and divisions often have long construction and maintenance backlogs. About a third of the state’s cities and counties, including 10 in Hampton Roads, will ask voters in November to approve a 1% sales tax dedicated to school capital improvement. But just because jurisdictions aren’t bringing forward the referendum doesn’t mean they do
